I would second that request. Even better, would be to run a user script 
on events. For example on Answer I would have "/local/bin/phone answer" 
which would boost audio output, un-mute micphone and change mic level. 
On hangup I would have "/local/bin/phone hangup" which return audio 
output to normal, reset mic level and mute it.


I can see how a deaf person would like to run a script to blink lights 
upon ring or incoming call so they know get in front of the web cam and 
answer a call.

[Ekiga-list] Request for a new feature

2013-03-14 Thread geo cherchetout

Hello,

When answering a call, I think it would be usefull to automatically send an 
optional command. For example, a command to mute the loudspeaker output of 
the soundcard. Is this conceivable for a future release ?

Any progress on this so far?

Hi Eugen and thank you again for your persistence in this matter :).

Since I do not want to repeatedly install one version of Ekiga over 
the other and repeat the same tests over and over, I will just say 
that each test was repeated MANY times in each mode on each version of 
the program.
The exact chronology of the actions taken and results observed is 
depicted exactly in this thread.  Reading all entries from the start 
should answer your questions.  But, for your convenience, here are my 
answers again:

Polaris, you wrote that ekiga 4.0.0 works, but ekiga 4.0.1 does not.

4.0.0 worked better than 4.0.1.  01 couldn't even register to 
Ekiga.net and not even an echo test worked.  But 00 never worked fully 
either - echo and call back tests worked (with video present) but 
calls to another person (only one person was called and calls were 
recieved from him multiple times within 30 minutes) only worked 
without video (ie: voice only).  Only once, for a brief instant I saw 
an image of the other person at the very beginning of the call. After 
that the image disappeared and the call continued in voice only.  The 
results of that test were described in February's thread: "Ekiga test 
today".


Do you always or most often receive the dialogue box about "Ekiga did 
not manage to configure..." when starting ekiga 4.0.0?  But with 4.0.1?


The dialogue box about Ekiga not configuring ports was appearing EVERY 
time Ekiga started for BOTH 4.0.0 and 4.0.1.  This was the case on 
BOTH computers tested (desktop and laptop both of which were behind 
the same firewall of my gateway).  The required ports on my firewall 
(m0n0wall) were opened manually and verified as being open with PF 
Port Checker from both computers.
With 4.0.0, has it worked with several outgoing and incoming calls, 
or you have tested only once (calling once 5...@ekiga.net for ex.)?


After I first installed 4.0.0, both echo and call back tests always 
worked with video (repeated MANY times).  After I installed 4.0.1 over 
4.0.0, nothing worked even once.  Then two things were done: I 
installed Skype and installed 4.0.0 over 4.0.1 (don't remember which 
was done first).  The roll back was done as per your request to run 
the -d 4 log on 4.0.0.  But after the rollback, 4.0.0 didn't work as 
before.  The echo test now always works with audio only (never with 
video) and the call back test now never works: Ekiga hangs as soon as 
I "pick up" after the system calls me back and this happens every time.
Please do several tests, call and receive calls, and only afterwards 
answer this e-mail.


I ask this because I am told that BOTH releases do not work for you 
in fact.  As soon as the dialogue box appear (if it appears 
occasionally, say 10% of the time, then this is not a problem), the 
port forwarding does not function properly.  In this case we try to 
PREVENT you from registering, since even if you do register, you will 
certainly have communication problems (non audio/video most of the 
time when calling or when called).
